Vijaya saraswathi

[sruthi]

Janya of 57th mela Simhendramadhyamam.
Arohanam: sa-ga-ma-pa-dha-ni-Sa (rishabha varjyam)
Avarohanam: Sa-ni-pa-ma-ga-ri-sa (dhaivata varjyam)

Muthiah Bhagavathar has composed a nice kriti 'Sharanam Vijaya Saraswathi maaye' in this rare ragam.

Here is a rendition that I could find on youtube (singer is Mahathi): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgf3acCQnRY

What are the other kritis in this raga? Also would like to know more details about this ragam.

Looks like BMK has a composition in this as well… sort of:

Shrī Natésha Chitprakāsha - Rāga Vijayasaraswati

Sort of, because the avarohana given has dha instead of pa: sa' ni dha ma ga ri sa. And it's not a typo, because the composition indeed follows this avarohana. For example:

Shrita palana, ardha chandra is

Code: Select all

ni dha ni dha ma ma, dhaa dha ma ga ri (version 1)
ni sa' (sa')ga' ri' sa, ni-ni sa' ni dha dha (version 2) 

and

Bhogi bhushana is

Code: Select all

ni dha ma dha ma ga ri.
